F# for fun and profit: Terms and Conditions

I only used F# on the side for a few casual projects but I'd really love for it to gain much more traction. Just like Clojure feels to me like a great pragmatic language on top of the JVM, F# feels like Ocaml on top of a really strong ecosystem.

I like that the terms and conditions page has a comment section beneath it.

Super neat, right? Wish this was more widely adopted. But disincentives, I guess ...

Off topic. I highly recommend the book written by the site's author

https://pragprog.com/titles/swdddf/domain-modeling-made-func...

Although it may look like just Domain Driven Design (DDD) and F# from the title. I think I've learnt a lot more from it. It changed the way I approached a problem and I somehow keep coming back to the book to get a refresher of the teachings in it. I suspect it is due to the influence of F# and functional paradigms that is also being shared in the book.

I really like F# but am concerned there might be some kind of gotcha with using it in a commercial project. Like somehow Microsoft might decide to require payment for .NET or something.
